Analysis and prediction for Tottenham vs Man City: A weak defense and a sharp attack.

Latest Tottenham vs Man City team news

Despite not having a fully fit squad, Tottenham entered Wednesday night's big match with only five players confirmed to be out due to injury: Radu Dragusin (ACL), Dominic Solanke (knee), Richarlison (hamstring), Cristian Romero (leg), and Micky van de Ven (leg). Manager Postecoglou may be gradually finding the winning formula for his team.

Timo Werner's muscle strain doesn't seem too serious and he's likely to recover in time for the crucial match against Manchester City – the team against whom he scored his only goal of the season (in the EFL Cup). Meanwhile, Ben Davies missed the match against Ipswich due to fitness concerns, which could be seen as a shrewd move by the coaching staff.

Manager Postecoglou also decided to leave James Maddison and Pedro Porro out of the starting lineup against Ipswich for the same reason, however both players will certainly be working hard to regain their place in the starting XI on Wednesday. Maddison's return to the squad may not be good news for Mathys Tel, who may have to relinquish his place.

At center forward for Manchester City, manager Guardiola is unsure whether Erling Haaland's knee injury will recover in time for the away match against Tottenham. With only three days of rest between matches, the availability of the two-time Premier League Golden Boot winner remains a big question mark. However, if Haaland does manage to play and score, he will make history as only the second player in the Premier League to achieve 10 goals at home and 10 goals away in three consecutive seasons. The only other player to have achieved this feat before was Harry Kane, while playing for Tottenham.

In addition, the list of absentees for Man City also includes familiar names such as Rodri (ACL), Oscar Bobb (ankle), Manuel Akanji (muscle), and John Stones (thigh). Manager Guardiola, despite giving Kevin De Bruyne a starting opportunity at the weekend, may not risk using the Belgian star again in the near future.

Latest football match prediction: Tottenham vs Man City

Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap started the match strongly, wreaking havoc on the Tottenham defense. However, that was just a glimmer of hope before the storm that hit Portman Road on Saturday, where Tottenham completely avenged their shock defeat to Ipswich in the first leg with a crushing 4-1 victory.

Returning to the Premier League starting lineup after a month-long absence, Brennan Johnson shone with a brace, along with two assists from captain Son Heung-min. The resurgent right-back, Djed Spence, and key midfielder Dejan Kulusevski also found opportunities to get their names on the scoresheet.

Although Omari Hutchinson's skillful and unexpected finish gave Ipswich a glimmer of hope, manager Postecoglou's side quickly regained control and went on to secure their third consecutive Premier League victory. This win helped Tottenham consolidate their 12th position in the league table.

This ranking, however, is still unacceptable for a club of Spurs' stature, as manager Postecoglou himself admitted. Nevertheless, the North London club has quelled speculation about a relegation battle by gradually recovering key players after long periods of injury absence.

The home team in the upcoming match is looking for their fourth consecutive Premier League win. The last time Tottenham achieved this was in October 2023, a time when manager Postecoglou was still working his magic in London. Furthermore, after conceding goals in 10 consecutive home games between October 30th and January 4th, Tottenham have kept three clean sheets in their last four matches.

The impressive goal-scoring record in 18 consecutive matches at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is also a major advantage for the home team. Conversely, Manchester City's streak of scoring in 16 consecutive matches across all competitions came to a surprising end in Sunday night's game.

In front of fans from both sides of Manchester and North London supporters, Pep Guardiola's men were unable to stop Liverpool's convincing title race. In the crucial match last weekend, "The Citizens" suffered a 0-2 defeat against the title contenders, with goals from Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Ball control is no longer a problem for the reigning champions at the Etihad Stadium. However, with Erling Haaland sidelined due to injury, the absence of a clear center forward has become a fatal weakness, leading to Man City's third defeat in their last four matches across all competitions (the other two losses were against Real Madrid).

Despite the difficulties, Guardiola's side are still striving to maintain their fourth-place position in the Premier League table. However, after Chelsea and Aston Villa both won on Tuesday, Man City dropped to sixth place, and only two of their last nine away matches in the Premier League ended in victory.

Both of those victories came against teams deeply embroiled in relegation battles: Leicester City and Ipswich Town. Therefore, after losing 0-4 and 1-2 to Spurs this season in the Premier League and EFL Cup, the reigning champions will certainly have to be extremely cautious when traveling to one of their most undesirable "death traps".
